Throughout history women have found ways to come together, to support, nourish, and love one another. In doing so, we have quietly, and most often slowly, made significant changes in our families, communities, countries, and the planet. We have done this over and over again. And yet at this point in time so many women are feeling powerless, lost, isolated, unsupported, unseen, unloved, and buried by grief.
The time is ripe to look within and inquire into our internal experience, the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories our bodies and words tell others. In doing so, our self awareness may expand, allowing for deeper wisdom, receptivity, and release.
Join Amber and Nicole for this three-hour inquiry as we unpack and discover some of the underlying energetics of grief and how we experience it. In this experiential gathering of women, we’ll explore a variety of practices for handling and holding grief, and investigate how we might better support ourselves and one another.
This session will include gentle yoga movement, journaling, meditation, Restorative yoga practice, and a sound bath.
Bring a multi-page journal, your writing implements of choice, and an eye pillow/cover.
Please wear comfortable, layered clothing in which you can move with ease.

About the Teacher: Nicole Bratt
Nicole, a Midwest native, is committed to holding space for students so that they may benefit from this elegant practice we know as yoga. She is deeply honored to be doing just that as the Studio Manager at Seattle Yoga Arts. Her life passion is cultivating vibrant and inclusive community wellness, and she is excited to bring her diverse background as a graphic designer, yoga teacher, event planner, photographer, volunteer coordinator, and small business owner to SYA.
As a group fitness instructor, Nicole explored yoga briefly in her 20s, but initially there was little resonance. When yoga crossed her path again in her 30s, she discovered she was ready to fully embrace its life-changing gifts. Her path led to completing both 200-hr and 500-hr teacher trainings at Yoga Tree San Francisco, and she specializes in Restorative, gentle, therapeutic, and prenatal modalities. She is passionate about the power of stillness as a transformational experience, as well as an antidote to urban living. After 12+ years living, working, and studying in San Francisco, Nicole transplanted to our lush, beautiful Seattle. When she’s not at the studio, you are likely to find Nicole outdoors, listening to live music, creating art, making/eating delicious food, or adventuring near and far.
